Summary of work:
Virtual fabrication is a key ingredient for increasing the competitiveness of the industry, by reducing the time from concept to market and by increasing quality and reliability of the final product. Nowadays, in automotive and aerospace industries, an important part of the virtual factory relies on the numerical simulations of aluminum parts using state-of-the-art crystal plasticity techniques. Better understanding of microstructure evolution of aluminum can significantly improve the accuracy of the numerical predictions.
To achieve this, the crystal plasticity model must capture the evolution of 3D microstructural features such as texture, grain shape and grain interactions with deformation. The goals of my research include development of an efficient spectral method based full-field crystal plasticity framework and development of in-house codes for bond-based and state-based Peri dynamic techniques.
Eventually creating a hierarchical multiscale framework (virtual laboratory) that can accurately model the effects of microstructure on fracture and crack propagation in the lab-scale components.
